And for those who engage in active mobility, Gruissan is developing its network of cycle paths and tools to encourage cycling. For example, in accordance with the city's bicycle plan, 3 bicycle repair and maintenance terminals have been installed in very busy places. In the form of an autonomous self-service station, each terminal offers the necessary tools for small repairs, including universal tools. But also the development of soft lanes: creation of a new mixed pedestrian/bicycle soft lane on Boulevard de la Corderie. It makes it possible to connect existing tracks coming from the chalets and the village to the 1 meters recently created on the right bank port quays. To accompany them, many parking lots for bicycles have been set up. Securing and encouraging the practice of soft mobility is a will of the City sensitive to the environmental cause but also to sports and health.
Gruissan has thus risen to the forefront of cycling destinations thanks to a network of well-developed cycle paths. The latter allows residents and visitors to discover the treasures of this pearl of Occitania. The initiative is part of the municipality's desire to promote an environmentally friendly holiday experience.
